The Biden-Harris Administration has announced the largest-ever investment in rural electrification since 1936, with nearly $11 billion in grants and loans available to rural energy and utility providers. The funding will help bring affordable, clean energy to rural communities through two programs: Empowering Rural America and Powering Affordable Clean Energy. These programs will provide support for renewable energy systems, zero-emission, and carbon capture systems, and finance large-scale solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, hydropower projects, and energy storage. The aim is to combat climate change, reduce air and water pollution, and create new economic growth and healthier communities.
